On similar Posts .. it is not mentioned How to set it on particular day .. Any suggestion would be helpful

Which Timer class are you using? System.Windows.Forms.Timer System.Timers.Timer System.Threading.Timer — Mike Hixson, Jun 13 '14 at 04:31
How about setting the interval for 1 minute. On your elapsed event you can check to see if the current time is 3:00. If its not 3:00 then just return. — Mike Hixson, Jun 13 '14 at 04:55

Looks like you are writing a job scheduling package - try using the off-the-shelf Quartz library ? http://www.quartz-scheduler.net/ — PhillipH, Jun 13 '14 at 10:57
